Kunickaa Sadanand Defends Trisha Krishnan Over Vijay Swearing-In Trolling

Veteran actress Kunickaa Sadanand has publicly come to the defense of Trisha Krishnan, who has faced relentless online criticism following her appearance at Thalapathy Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister. Vijay’s wife and children were notably absent from the event, and Trisha’s emotional presence at the occasion sparked widespread speculation and hostility across social media platforms.

Kunickaa Hits Back at Online Critics

The backlash intensified after an X user posted a viral video of Trisha visibly moved while watching Vijay take his oath of office. The user claimed that Trisha had played no role in Vijay’s struggles or family life, yet had appeared to share in his moment of triumph. Kunickaa Sadanand responded sharply, writing that targeting a woman who had not taken any marital vows was deeply unfair, adding that the incident proved women could often be their own worst enemies.

A Friendship Under the Public Microscope

Trisha and Vijay share a long-standing friendship built over several film collaborations. Their frequent public appearances together during key political milestones — including Trisha visiting Vijay’s residence on election results day — have kept online chatter alive. Comments from celebrities like Lakshmi Manchu, who described Vijay’s political victory as Trisha’s “best birthday gift,” and Charmme Kaur, who called her a “lucky mascot,” further fuelled speculation.

Despite the noise, Kunickaa’s strong stance has drawn considerable support, with many praising her for calling out the gendered nature of the trolling targeting Trisha.
